Hey, you just power it down open it up, change jumper switch, power on again etc............resets the password to blank?
I didn not read about this until I tried to mess around with my own BIOS which was at a later time, but I think the school would take even less kindly to someone opening up their box and messing with the mother board.
The morons should be fired........they left a machine in a state where any punk could go in and set the BIOS password? Do they have anyone there with an opposable thumb whose knuckles don't scrape the pavement when they walk along?
Hehe. Actually the current he got premoted to more powerful "person."
Lesson: Ask the netadmins if you are going to do something questionalbe first. Also never show up stupid network admins, it pisses them off. I think most other people would listen and then research it or ask a colleages.

Slightly off topic: Since it is my junior year I should start looking at colleges, this however requires I have some idea of what I want to do. I want a job with computers, so research, programming, being an admin, security analyst, and probably a bunch more you all know. So, what college would you recommend that I go to?
